About Chilton

The CHILTON/FURNER alleged marriage has been reproduced many times in genealogies since 1962. The baptism of Susannah FURNER may be found in the parish register of St. Paul's church, Canterbury as follows:"Susan Furner the 5th daye" November, 1573. The CHILTON's first child Isabell was baptised on 15th January 1586. Using old style dates, Susan would have been only 12-1/2 years old at the time of her marriage to James CHILTON, then about 29 years old. She would have been only 13 at the birth of Isabell. This is highly unlikely therefore, until evidence has been submitted for their marriage, Mrs. CHILTON's identity has not been proven and remains a mystery.

--------------------

In 1620, Susanna Chilton (Furner) departed England for Massachusetts on the Mayflower with her husband, James, and daughter, Mary. James was one of the three men who died at sea during the crossing. Susanna died that first winter in Massachusetts. Over half of the passengers died that first winter. Susanna's daughter, Mary Chilton, survived and celebrated the first Thanksgiving in November 1621.
